"Thank you, Mr President. Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen. Regrettably, the restructuring of the sugar market has not brought the results we had hoped for. In modifying the restructuring scheme, it must be taken into account that some Member States have renounced a substantial portion of their quota. Hungary has abandoned 27% of its quota, whilst the average for the European Union as a whole is just 10.5%.
When determining the final quota reductions, therefore, I am in favour of taking into account the scale of production in each Member State. It would be inappropriate if the same reduction was prescribed for all Member States of the European Union at the same time since production characteristics differ in each country.
Moreover, modification of the restructuring scheme should not impact negatively on Member States that have already implemented a higher-than-average quota reduction. For this reason I oppose taking beet and isoglucose quotas together when calculating the ratio of the quota renounced to the initial quota. Meanwhile, the maximum amount of restructuring aid should also be granted in instances where facilities are not dismantled but converted to alternative uses such as biomass or bioethanol production. Thank you for your attention."@en1
